Electrical Safety Inspections in Manchester, NH
A licensed, 5.0-star rated electrician's methodical top-to-bottom review of your home's electrical system — with a written report you can act on, negotiate with, or file away for peace of mind.
Know Exactly What's Behind Your Walls
A general home inspector looks at your electrical system for minutes; we look at nothing else for hours. Our safety inspection opens the panel and examines every breaker, termination, and bus connection, tests a representative sample of receptacles for polarity, grounding, and GFCI function, checks for the recalled panel brands still lurking in area basements, and evaluates the service entrance, grounding electrode system, and visible wiring throughout the attic and basement. Findings land in a written, photo-documented report ranked by urgency — what's dangerous now, what's aging, and what's merely cosmetic.
The timing that brings most people to us: buying a home (especially one of southern NH's many pre-1970 houses, where original services and mystery renovations are the rule), satisfying an insurance carrier's request, planning a renovation, or noticing symptoms — warm plates, dimming, burning odors — that deserve a professional's eyes before they escalate. Buyers routinely use our reports to negotiate repairs worth many times the inspection fee.
Just as valuable is what an inspection rules out. Most homes we inspect need a handful of modest corrections, not a rewire, and knowing that from a licensed electrician's written assessment beats years of low-grade worry about what's behind the walls.
What a Thorough Inspection Actually Buys You
Findings ranked honestly, documented clearly, and never inflated to sell you repair work you don't need.
Nothing Gets Skimmed
Panel interior, service entrance, grounding, device sampling, and visible wiring all examined — a scope no general home inspection matches.
A Report Worth Filing
Photo-documented findings ranked by urgency, written to be understood by homeowners, insurers, and closing attorneys alike.
Negotiating Power for Buyers
A licensed electrician's itemized findings carry weight at the closing table that a checkbox report never will.
Inspected by the License Holder
NH master electrician #15673 performs every inspection personally — the same eyes on every panel, every time.
Live Testing, Not Just Looking
Visual checks catch some problems; measurements catch the rest. We take voltage readings, test GFCI and AFCI response, and clamp actual circuit loads to find the overloaded runs and weak connections a flashlight tour would miss.
Every Circuit Traced and Verified
We verify that breakers match their labels and their wire sizes — 14-gauge wire on a 20-amp breaker is one of the most common and quietly dangerous finds in older homes. Your panel directory gets corrected as part of the visit.

Electrical Safety Inspections FAQ
A single-family inspection typically runs two to three hours on site, with multifamily buildings scaled per unit, and pricing is flat and quoted up front. Buyers often schedule it inside their due-diligence window alongside the general home inspection — tell us your deadline and we prioritize accordingly.
Yes — municipal inspectors verify that specific permitted work meets code at rough-in and finish; they don't assess your whole system's health. Our inspection is a comprehensive owner-side review of everything, permitted or not, including the decades of unpermitted work older homes tend to accumulate.
You get an itemized report with findings ranked urgent, recommended, and informational, plus flat pricing for any corrections — with zero obligation to use us for the repairs. If we find something an insurer or lender needs addressed, such as an obsolete panel, we'll note the fix and point you to our electrical panel upgrades page for that specific scope.
This is one of our most common requests, particularly for older Manchester homes at policy renewal. We perform the inspection, document the system's condition in the format carriers expect, and if corrections are required we complete them and issue updated documentation. Most insurance-driven inspections are scheduled within the week.
